Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said early Thursday that it targeted a US airbase in Kuwait in response to an American aerial strike near Bandar Abbas Airport in southern Iran, Anadolu reports. According to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency, the IRGC said the retaliatory strike came at 4.50 am (0120GMT), hours after what it described as a US assault on a point near the port city’s airport using aerial projectiles. “This response is a serious warning so that the enemy knows that aggression will not go unanswered, and if repeated, our response will be more decisive,” it said. Later, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Thursday through US social media company X that Iran launched “a ballistic missile toward […]

On 16th April, the United States announced a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon. Extensions followed. Frameworks were negotiated. International mediators declared progress. But the ceasefire was never real. It was announced on the day it ceased to be true. For six weeks, the south has been struck continuously. Evacuation orders have intensified, not declined. On 26th May 2026, the Israeli military declared all areas south of Lebanon’s Zahrani River, roughly 25 miles from the border, as “combat zones” and ordered mass evacuation. This is not an enforcement failure. This is the framework itself being false from inception. The 16th April ceasefire assigned the Lebanese government three concrete obligations. Prevent Hezbollah from attacking Israel. Disarm all non-state armed groups. […]

The EU focus on sanctioning Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir tells only a fragment of the story. Ben Gvir may be the face of Israel’s colonial dehumanisation at the moment, but Israel is the structure in which colonial dehumanisation is embedded. In a letter sent to the European Council President Antonio Costa and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas last week, MEPs called upon the EU to institute a travel ban against Ben Gvir. “The recent horrifying video footage … represents a level of ruthlessness and inhumanity that the European Union can no longer ignore.” Ben Gvir’s actions in the context of the Global Sumud Flotilla activists are certainly degrading and despicable. However, […]
